Knowledge Drop (Value Measured)

The measure of value today is defined in many ways. Some use the measure of money, power, or even physical appearance. On the shallow side of things. The good looking and most attractive, receive the most leniency. Economically, the one with the most zeros and commas is the biggest fish. Also, the one who has the most influence and control is considered the “top shelf”, if you will. However, the evidence of true value is measured in departure, over the essence of presence. For instance. You don't know how devastating a hurricane, until you see the carnage it left behind. You don't know how important someone is to a team, until they leave. The old adage of, "you don't know what you have until it's gone.” We see it in business. We see it relationships. The applause is great when the performer reaches the stage at the beginning. But true measure of appreciation is most evident in the ovation given at the end. The importance of leaving a mark, cannot be stressed enough. The effect that one may have on the many, can be astronomical. The fact remains. What you are and bring, is significant. But what you leave behind, is evident.
